Pain au Levain Naturel workshop ... sipping a glass of wine - March 8, 2020

There is something magical and exciting about the process of making your own bread. This magic is even more present when you learn how to develop and grow your own natural leaven.

This is what you will learn in this one afternoon course, followed by an aperitif garnished with regional products and very good bottles, and more particularly:

- how to create, activate and maintain a natural leaven as well as the benefits of leaven

- the simple method to create homemade natural sourdough bread, step by step, and in practice. You will leave with your dough to bake at home (bread of 400gr)
